Properties required for Adapptr: PL

FundApps Adapptr PL Service is built to ease implementation of our Position Limits service. You can implement this in one of two ways:

  1. Supply all the fields below, to create a FundApps file for PL
  2. Supply data and attempt to lookup data from a configured data provider (Refinitiv or Bloomberg), using the DataProviderId column

For information on integrating with our API, see:
Adapptr Techdocs Guides

Properties

Listed below are the properties you can send to Adapptr in the CSV file, note any properties you provide will override what data providers may send.

Property Name Description Data type Valid values & notes
AssetId Unique identifier for the asset String(255) e.g. Use ISIN + LocalTicker or ISIN + ExecutionVenue if possible (these are also provided by the exchange-level FIGI or quote-level PermID).
Must be unique for every asset in the portfolio (but may be duplicated across portfolios) or else validation will fail
AssetName required Name of the asset String(255) Used throughout Rapptr as the primary display name for the asset, so ensure this name is meaningful
AssetClass required The asset class of the asset String(255) Used to construct the correct asset class and identify the correct limit to apply to the contract.
ULAssetClass The asset class of the underling instrument String(255) If populated with one of the following values:
  • Bond, Adapptr will generate a dummy bond component with IsGovernmentBacked="true" on the instrument.
  • Commodity, Adapptr will generate a dummy commodity component for the instrument.
  • InterestRate, Adapptr will generate a dummy interest rate component for the instrument.
This can be used for OTC instruments or by those looked up from a data provider.
Valid values: Bond, Commodity and InterestRate
ULIssuerName Issuer name to be used on the dummy underlying instrument String(255) The value will be used to populate IssuerName for the dummy bond component by the ULAssetClass. Only applies if it is a bond.
Quantity required Number of contracts held Decimal Short sale positions - Insert a negative quantity for positions resulting from short sale transactions.
PortfolioId required Unique identifier for the portfolio / entity String(255) This Id should NOT change over time (even during implementation). If it does a new portfolio / entity will be created.
DataProviderId Optional - Lookup code for your chosen Market Data provider String(255) Used to query data from your data vendor. Provide either Bloomberg or RIC codes (for Bloomberg and Refinitiv respectively). If using a Bloomberg code you can optionally specify a yellowkey for lookups e.g. "S X3 Comdty".
Note this property is not required for any Position Limits rules. It is purely for data collection.
ComponentDataProviderId Optional - Component lookup code for your chosen Market Data provider. An alternative to ComponentISIN String(255) Similar to DataProviderId, used to query data from your data vendor for the component. Provide either Bloomberg or RIC codes (for Bloomberg and Refinitiv respectively). If using a Bloomberg code you can optionally specify a yellowkey for lookups e.g. "S X3 Comdty".
Note this property is not required for any Position Limits rules. It is purely for data collection.
Market required Market identification code (MIC) for the primary market that this instrument is traded on. String(255) ISO 10383 code (MIC). Insert the MIC of the primary market that the instrument is traded on. Where the specific market segment is different to the Operating MIC, please use the specific market segment since the Operating MIC is the parent market venue only.
For instruments which are truly over-the-counter (OTC), use the value recommended by the ISO standard: XXXX
For instruments where the market is completely unknown, use the value: XMIC (which is not an ISO code but a suggested default value in such cases).
CallOrPut required If an option is call or put. String(255) Only needed for Options.
Valid values: Call, Put.
CommoditySymbol Exchange-specific commodity symbol (e.g. CL for NYMEX Crude Oil). This must be the FIA Tech Commodity Symbol. String(255) This field is mandatory for instruments not looked up from Data Providers. If using a DataProviderId/ComponentDataProviderId to resolve an instrument we will attempt to derive this from the data returned. If you supply a value this will override our logic. For in-scope Equity Swap instruments, you may provide a dummy CommoditySymbol (ex. CommoditySymbol = 'XX') and any DeliveryMonth to exclude such positions in your results or to pass validation as no such limits exist.
ContractSize Contract size of a derivative. If relevant, this should be in instrument currency Decimal e.g. 1000 would mean every option represents 1000 of the underlying.
DeliveryMonth required Delivery month of exchange-traded derivatives. If a contract month has delivery over two different months, FundApps recommend using the first delivery month unless the regulation states otherwise. String(255) ISO 8601 YYYY-MM format
Delta The Delta measures the degree to which the derivative is exposed to shifts in the price of the underlying asset (price sensitivity with relation to the underlying). Under the European Transparency Directive (TDA) cash settled instruments should be Delta weighted. All cash settled instruments (where IsCashSettled=True) must have a Delta value. Under the Short-Selling Regulation (SSR) all derivatives (including convertibles) should be delta weighted regardless of settlement and therefore a delta must be provided. Decimal Valid Values: 0 to 1
IsCashSettled required If the derivative is cash settled (as opposed to requiring physical delivery) Boolean Most countries capture physically settled derivatives, many (but less) are interested in cash settled derivatives.
OpenInterestAllMonths Optional - Total number of open or outstanding (not closed/settled or delivered) contracts that exist on a given trading day across all contract months. The property should represent the all month open interest value for a futures contract if defined on a future, or for all options (call and put) combined if defined on an option. Decimal If there is no external provider (Bloomberg or Refinitiv) it will use the value informed for the instrument. Otherwise the value from the external provider will overwrite the value informed by the client.
OpenInterestSingleMonth Optional - Total number of open or outstanding (not closed/settled or delivered) contracts that exist on a given trading day for the single contract month. Decimal If there is no external provider (Bloomberg or Refinitiv) it will use the value informed for the instrument. Otherwise the value from the external provider will overwrite the value informed by the client.

Portfolio & Entity Properties

A portfolio is the smallest unit that can hold assets (aka an account, fund etc.), an entity is a grouping of portfolios. The properties are generally set-up once and then only updated when changes occur. Portfolio properties can be entered directly into the Rapptr UI and do not need to be provided in an input file.

The following are required for the rules / Rapptr to function correctly

Property NameApplies ToDescriptionData typeValid values & notesRules Jurisdictions
PortfolioId required Both Unique identifier for the portfolio / entity String(255) This Id should NOT change over time (even during implementation). If it does a new portfolio / entity will be created. All All
PortfolioName required Portfolio Name of the portfolio / entity String(255) 64 47
PortfolioCurrency required Both Base currency of the portfolio / currency entity should use for calculations String(255) Valid values: ISO 4217 currency codes. 5 3
PortfolioType required Both Portfolio: a container that holds assets (Accounts, Funds, Portfolios etc.);
Entity: an aggregation of portfolios (Management Company, Controlling Entity, etc.)
Umbrella: If a portfolio's direct parent is an umbrella and a portfolio level disclosure is required, Rapptr will trigger the disclosure on the parent umbrella, aggregating all portfolios underneath that specific umbrella

PortfolioCompany required Both If a Chinese wall, or similar, exists, you will be able to limit the visibility to specific areas of the business. String(255) More information is available here All All
DefaultParentId Both Identifier (PortfolioId) of the Entity that a portfolio or (sub)Entity aggregates to String(255) Must match a PortfolioId of an Entity in the file. This is used to define the aggregation structure. In this case, an aggregation structure named 'Default' is used. For Entities which are at the top of the tree, the DefaultParentId will be its own PortfolioId. For clients with multiple aggregation structures, additional columns named 'XParentId' can be added, where X is the name of the tree (e.g. Voting, Legal, Management). More information here All All
